Gomez, 28, has 13 home runs in 345 plate appearances this season. He belted 24 last season, when he made his first All-Star team. Only two roster slots have been filled for the National League thus far: by Tulowitzki, and by Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton.

Gomez does get the most bang for his buck when he pulls the trigger! He’s got the most violent swing I’ve ever seen,especially on a fastball count. Don’t see how he has not blown out his lumbar already. He is definitely Derby material
